Pros

Strong brands and leader in almost every category they play in. Good benefits with onsite medical facility and fitness center.

Cons

Pay is below average with the exception of marketing. Leadership uses dictator management style with do your job or get fired mentality. There is also a constant change in strategy depending on who is making decisions (which seemed to change every 6 months) which leads to jobs or entire departments being eliminated. Also must be willing to relocate to advance in sales. This all leads to extremely high turnover. I've never seen anything like it and would not recommend working here.

Pros

Weekly pay, 2 of the supervisors are sweet.

Cons

Everything else, not as friendly as you they put on, Not as diverse as you think it is. Mirco-bullying and racism but they won't admit it and will try to cover it up
